Dog food DOES NOT have the same health standards as people food. For the most part, the governing bodies for people food have nothing to do with the dog food industry.

In fact, the dog food industry is so loosely regulated that even conventional and holistic veterinarians have a tough time figuring out what to feed their own pets...

What does
"natural" or "organic"
really mean? Are there dog food ratings standards that
companies have to meet to use either of these terms?

How do I make sense of all of these
crazy ingredients?

How can I be sure that the brand gets
their food from good manufacturers?

Is there anything on the packaging
that I can trust?

Organic Pet Digest was tired of the corporate games being played with dog food packaging, so we embarked on a mission to figure out...

What can and cannot be
trusted on the label and
where does the "gray area" lie?

The level of importance
of each part of the
label to the overall health of the food.

Simple
questions that boil down all of the
confusion into a consistent and reliable method to determine how
healthy each dog food actually is.

A FREE,
easy-to-use tool that friends of
Organic Pet Digest can use to determine the dog food ratings of ANY dog
food with the ability to save, sort and download all of their test
results.

After months of research and work with holistic veterinarians, agencies that offer guidelines for dog food manufacturers, several organic dog food brands, government regulatory agencies and programmers, we are pleased to bring you the first ever veterinarian-approved Healthy Label Test.

You can register for and use the Healthy Label Test for free by signing up for Natural Dog Care Monthly, our free monthly newsletter...
